The value of Italian agri-food exports to the United States has fallen by an estimated €600 million in the first seven months of 2025, compared to the same period last year. This sharp decline, according to an analysis by CIA-Agricoltori Italiani, based on ISTAT data, is attributed primarily to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. After years of consistent growth, Italian agri-food shipments to the US have now fallen for two consecutive months. ADVERTISEMENTKey Italian food exports have been hit particularly hard, including wine – which alone accounts for over a third of agri-food exports to the US – as well as designation-of-origin cheeses, pasta, and tomato preserves. For instance, the value of olive oil exports increased by 43% last year, while volumes only increased by 6%.
